I know Spencer and his brother Mitchell who wrote the article. He's the
real bike nut! Check out Two Bikes in Knoxville or Chattanooga next time
you're in TN.

 For sure. Up here in the frozen wastes of Maine, my winter ride is a
 1992 Trek 950 "Atlantis style" bike. It has full fenders, upright bars and
 stem, and wears either Maxxis DTH or Nokian studded tires, depending upon
 how much ice I expect to encounter. Here it is with the non-studded tires
 in late winter:

I met Spencer years ago when I lived in Nashville and I remember him 
showing up at a pretty remote house party on that polyvalent. 

I like the aesthetics of the older gen Atlantis, but I have a MIT model and 
I think it rides wonderfully. Only downside I see to the chainstay length 
is the need for an extra long chain and difficulty turning it around in a 
train car 

 It's a bit "idealized" in that the Atlantis is being ridden with snow 
 on the ground, but it doesn't have fenders.
 That's a setup for someone with a few bikes to choose from -- where 
 there's snow, there'll be salt, and water, and slush, most days in the 
 winter. Where I live, I could ride that setup maybe ten days between 
 Thanksgiving and the end of February.

 But it sure looks great -- Rivendell nailed the color on that bike.
 It just looks right, it's easily recognized, and even though it's just 
 a hair off the classic Celeste Bianchi, it's clearly its own thing.

Thanks Steven! I'm really happy to have the Trek. When I found the Atlantis 
frameset, I expected that it would replace the Trek, but the Atlantis is 
gone, and the Trek is still in the stable!
